The hall was already a busy scene. Due to the number of people, they only sent Xiaolan and Daozhang on this trip. The others were purchasing items needed on the mountain at a nearby supermarket.
Although she was already very familiar with the layout here, Xiaolan still had a magical feeling when she officially stepped into the school hall.
The young lady at the front desk noticed the two of them, with a friendly smile on her face, and asked loudly, "Do you want to ask anything?"
As soon as she heard the voice, Xiaolan recognized that this was the front desk lady who answered the phone when they called to pretend to be the child's parent.
"Hello," the Taoist priest bowed slightly, "we are here to see Teacher Deng."
"Teacher Deng has no classes in the morning, so he should be preparing lessons in the office now." The girl looked at the schedule, "May I ask who you are..."
"We consulted her about a student's situation before, and Teacher Deng gave a very patient answer," the Taoist priest said in a gentle and polite voice, "The matter has been resolved. We came here today to thank Teacher Deng."
"That's it," the girl dialed the intercom, "I'm sorry, I need to inform Teacher Deng here. What's your surname?"
"Our surname is Liao," the Taoist priest said, pushing Xiaolan out. "The student who is consulting is called Zhao Wansheng. Just tell Teacher Deng Wansheng directly. She will understand."
Sure enough, although Teacher Deng did not know "Mr. Liao", he was really impressed by Wan Sheng's name. When the girl mentioned that name, Teacher Deng quickly said that he would be brought up as soon as possible.
"Teacher Deng's office is on the third floor. After you get out of the elevator, turn left and go straight. The last room is there," the girl said with a smile. "I'm sorry, the time for students to go to school is coming soon. I may not be able to take you two up. If you two
If you can’t find it…”
"No problem," Xiaolan patted her chest, "We will definitely find it, thank you, little sister."
The girl watched them enter the elevator.
There were several teachers walking hurriedly in the corridor on the third floor, but even if they were in a hurry, when the teachers passed by the two of them, they would smile and nod in greeting.
It's a really beautiful place.
The overall decoration of the building has changed a lot compared to Wansheng's time. It is cleaner and brighter. All areas that can be opened have been set up as open spaces. There are no lifeless walls and they are all replaced by transparent glass.
Sure enough, it will make people feel freer and more open-minded.
Xiaolan and Daochang passed by three or four classrooms. In each classroom, there were several teachers preparing for the upcoming classes. The office door at the end of the corridor was open. Teacher Deng must have known about their arrival.
, specially left the door open.
The two walked to the door and took a look into the office.
The office is not big, but the furnishings are warm. There is only one middle-aged woman sitting by the window, writing something. She must be Teacher Deng.
As soon as the Taoist priest raised his hand to knock on the door, Xiaolan grabbed the Taoist priest's arm, covered his stomach and said, "Taoist priest, I want to go to the toilet."
"Toilet?" The Taoist priest pointed in the direction they came from, "The toilet seems to be..."
"Over there, I saw it when I came here," Xiaolan stamped her feet on the spot, "You go to see Teacher Deng first."
"Ah, oh, of course..."
"Mr. Liao?" A low voice sounded from inside the door.
"Yes, I am," the Taoist priest raised his head, "Excuse me..."
While the Taoist priest was distracted by Teacher Deng, Xiaolan slipped away in two steps and ran to the bathroom two classrooms away.
After that, she lurked at the door of the toilet and investigated what was going on in the office.
Waited for a long time...
The Taoist priest hasn't come out yet.
Do he and Teacher Deng have so much to talk about?
The children going to school appeared one after another, but the Taoist priest had not yet come out. Xiaolan rubbed his hair angrily, looked at his appearance in the mirror, sighed, and stuck his head out of the toilet door again, starting the second round of investigation.
.
The office door is quiet and empty.
No one showed up.
Did the Taoist priest chat with Teacher Deng?
There was a slight touch on Xiaolan's back.
She turned her head sharply.
The person behind him was startled.
A little girl with twin ponytails stood at the door of the toilet, staring at Xiaolan curiously. The little girl was about the same age as her, with flickering eyelashes, and she looked very beautiful.
"Well……"
Xiaolan quickly and awkwardly moved away from the entrance.
The girl waved her hands, and then moved her hands quickly to create a series of complex sign languages.
After gesticulating, the girl tilted her head towards Xiaolan, probably putting a question mark on these words.
Xiaolan didn't understand it at all.
Seeing that Xiaolan didn't understand what she meant, the girl made the gesture again.
"Ah...ah..." Xiaolan pointed to herself and waved her hand, "I don't understand... I don't understand..."
The girl didn't understand what she meant either.
The two faced each other, full of doubts.
Finally, Xiaolan exhausted all the knowledge in her mind and finally remembered the only sign language gesture she knew.
She raised her hand and showed it with a confident grin.
That's the "I love you" gesture.
The girl blushed and jumped a few times shyly. She didn't even have time to go to the toilet, so she covered her face and ran back to the classroom.
Plan passes.
Turning around, Xiaolan happened to see the office door open and the Taoist priest walked out with a smile.
Xiaolan patted her clothes, pretended to have just come out of the bathroom, and hurried over.
"Is nothing wrong?" The Taoist priest looked at Xiaolan's appearance and asked.
"No, I ate too much this morning," Xiaolan pointed to the office door, "Taoist Priest, have you finished talking to Teacher Deng?"
The Taoist priest nodded, "Then let's go..."
"Wait a minute, I want to see Teacher Deng," Xiaolan grabbed the door handle, "I also want to say a few words to her."
The Taoist priest looked at Xiaolan and thought, "You have something to say," but he didn't say it. He just smiled kindly, "Okay, let's go in again. Teacher Deng won't interfere..."
Before the Taoist Master could finish speaking, Xiaolan turned around, opened the door and got into the office, then locked him out under the Taoist Master's surprised gaze.
Xiaolan breathed out, and Teacher Deng slowly stood up from the office chair, looking at her confused but politely.
"Who are you……"
"Ah, my surname is Liao, and I am the same as that person just now..." Xiaolan clasped her hands in front of her, inexplicably nervous, "Hello, Teacher Deng."
"Hello," Teacher Deng said with a polite smile, "What's the matter?"
This...how to describe it.
"Teacher Deng," Xiaolan pointed to herself, "my name is Liao Yilan."
Teacher Deng was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Well, hello, Mr. Liao."
"Teacher, don't you...don't you know me?" This sounded strange, "I mean, have you seen me?"
